Mixing power that's easy to use
The A640 Personal Mixer combines a powerful mix engine with an intuitive user interface that doesn't get in your way while performing. The A640's colour hi-res display has three Mix Views showing you all the details about your mix without sacrificing editing simplicity. Switch between them at any time with the dedicated View button.
Channel View provides detail about an individual channel's settings (volume, pan, treble, bass, and effects). The Mix View shows the volume level of every channel in your mix, and the Names View displays each channel by name along with its volume level. Editing is easy, even while you're focused on singing and playing.
You can create custom names for each channel, or sync them to channel names coming from a Dante network when using the D800-Dante A-Net Distributor.
Choose exactly the channels you need
Under the hood, the A640 has all the power you need, so you don't have to make compromises in your mix.
Every user can select exactly the sources they want in their mix - from up to 64 network input sources - so drummers can have lots of drum channels and vocalists can have lots of vocal channels.
The built-in Channel Mapping function makes the A640 Personal Mixer easy to set up and customize to suit your performance needs.
Stereo on every channel
Each channel button on the A640 can hold a stereo source, so every input can be heard in full stereo fidelity without taking up additional space on the mixer. This ensures that every channel sounds its best, improving the fidelity of the overall monitor mix as well, and frees up space for more mix content - without adding more complexity for the musician.
Avioms unique stereo pan adds positional information to a stereo signal while preserving its stereo image; and on the A640, placing a stereo signal anywhere in your stereo field is accomplished effortlessly with a single control!
Get to your favorite channel faster
The A640's Favorite channel reserves prime real estate for each performer's most important channel, so you don't have to spend even a beat looking for it.
Simply hold the Favorite button and tap any mix channel to assign your personal favorite. It's super convenient for singers, guitarists, and horn players. In custom layout mode, your favorite channel can have its own unique content.
Get more out of your in-ears
The reality for many musicians is that the switch from a wedge to in-ears can be disappointing. The A640 Personal Mixer can change all that.
Designed from top to bottom with in-ear monitors in mind, the A640 gives musicians the controls they need to make their in-ears sound better than ever. To work with wireless in-ear systems, learn more about the Network Mix Back feature.
Make it sound great
The EQ curves for the master tone controls on the A640 were designed specifically for the sonic characteristics of in-ear monitors. The A640's master Bass, Treble, and Enhance controls will make your in-ear monitors sound fantastic no matter what kind of music you play.
Add space to your ears
The A640's per-channel reverb control lets you easily restore some of the spaciousness your ears naturally expect.
With high-resolution panning for mono channels and variable pan control for stereo channels, every source can be positioned precisely in the mix's stereo field, reducing musicians' sense of isolation and improving the clarity of the entire mix.
Connect with other performers
When you need to communicate with other A640 users, the Intercom feature is the perfect tool. With the press of a button a musical director can make song changes, direct performers, etc., all without the audience hearing it (requires the D800 A-Net Distributor).
You can use the A640's internal mic or one that is connected to the Aviom network. And each performer has control over the Intercom audio's level as part of their personal mix.
Take your mix with you
Save everything about your A640 Personal Mixer - mix settings, presets, channel assignments, names - to a USB thumb drive for backup or transferring settings to another unit. It's never been easier for multiple ensembles to share personal mixers, to recall cue mixes for a recording session, or for those on tour to be sure their mix settings are preserved from show to show, even if you're using rental gear.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
